UNIDEN PRO5050
AM-CB Transceiver
Open Scan (OS) Mode
Allows continuous scanning of all selected channels. If an active channel is found,
scanning will stop on that channel. If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3
seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes.
After transmission in scan mode, the unit will wait 20 seconds for the signal to return,
otherwise scanning resumes. To skip the active channel, turn the Rotary Channel Se-
lector at the base. To deactivate SCAN, press
[SCAN/OS/GS]
.
NOTE
If SCAN is deactivated while on an active channel, the AM CB Radio will
stay on that active channel. If no channels are active, the AM CB Radio
will reinstate the starting channel.
NOTE
OS Mode is indicated by the absence of the GS icon.
Group Scan (GS) Mode
Includes the accessory feature Priority Watch which allows you to monitor the Instant
Priority Channel while scanning (see
p.16 for setting Instant Priority Channel
and p.20 to turn on Priority Watch).
To use GS Mode Scanning, press and
hold
[SCAN/OS/GS].
GS icon appears
on the display.
GS Scanning checks the Instant Priority
Channel for activity regularly when Priority
Watch is ON.
If the Priority Channel becomes active the radio
will stay on that channel for as long as the signal
is present. If the received signal ceases, Priority
Scanning continues after 3 seconds.
If scanning stops on a channel which is not a Priority Channel, AM CB Radio will continue
monitoring the Priority Channel for activity while listening to the active one. To deactivate
SCAN, press the
[SCAN/OS/GS]
button.
